St. Agatha, Catholic church in Dorsten, Germany.

The St. Agatha church features a substantial west tower accompanied by two side towers, following the architectural design by Otto Bongartz.

The original church from the 13th century was completely destroyed during a bombing on March 22, 1945, leading to the construction of the current building in 1952.

The baptistery contains a cylindrical late Romanesque baptismal font from the 13th century, decorated with ornamental friezes displaying symbolic representations.

The church maintains regular Catholic services and ceremonies while offering access to visitors interested in exploring its architectural elements.

The tower houses five bells, including three baroque sound bodies from 1732, forming the only fully preserved baroque peal in Westphalia.
